Expectations were not high and were not exceeded.
Pros:

Peaceful location and really good parking.

Cons:

Bathroom door could not be locked and anyway massive gaps at top and bottom where it didn’t meet the frame - about a 20cm gap top and bottom.

We love The Narrows Landing!
Pros:

We had to cancel our booking at the last minute due to a family emergency. I rang and let them know and they were so amazingly nice about it. This would have been our 6th stay and we wouldn't stay anywhere else when visiting Hamilton. We'll done The Narrows Landing!

It was perfectly peaceful
Pros:

Love the place & so grateful for the early check in due to travelling from out of town & having to get to a funeral. Very accommodating.
The grounds are magnificent and I loved the quietness. Will be staying again.
